Thanks to an industry-leading off-cut recycling scheme operated by interior solutions provider Armstrong Ceilings, some 8,000m² or 32 tonnes of the manufacturer’s tiles – equivalent to the weight of two double-decker buses - have been saved from landfill.

The Rivergreen Centre was designed as an eco-friendly building, using the thermal mass of the concrete to control the temperature in the room instead of relying on air-conditioning and heating. By installing Axiom C Canopies it was possible to maintain the thermal mass while at the same time covering over the services and enhancing the acoustic and light reflective properties.

The client, architect and contractor were tasked with creating an inspirational yet environmentally friendly, internal environment. To provide a sustainable
solution and to save on landfill costs, they needed to find a supplier who would recycle the old ceiling tiles and use the raw material to make new ceilings.
